Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:01. | :00:04. | |
programme: Under attack - a call for more | :00:04. | :00:14. | |
:00:14. | :00:14. | ||
prosecutions of those who assault ambulance staff. We walked past and | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
the mother shouted as at us and threw a brick at me. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Those magnificent men in their very fast flying machines who impressed | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
:00:34. | :00:36. | ||
one 15-year-old boy 80 years ago. They were little gods. We looked at | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
them as a real heroes of. The race has started. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
And previously unseen footage of a bygone era in the world of motor | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
racing. There were no safety belts, look at the circuit. There was | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
:01:00. | :01:02. | ||
nothing stopping the car's going They're in the front line of the | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
emergency services, caring for those in need, but ambulance staff | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
in the south have found themselves coming under physical attack, staff | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
have reported. But it's only in a small number of cases that the | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
perpetrators are held to account for their actions. Now bosses at | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the South Central Ambulance Service want to change that, and are | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
calling for more people to be prosecuted. Emma Vardy has this | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
report. When it crews are called out, they | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
can be put at risk. Paramedic Cherry was assaulted in Reading | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
while looking up a patient. We got called to an alleged overdose, in | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
19-year-old had given the information. We were making our way | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
and outside the front door, as we walked past, the mother shouted at | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
us and threw a brick at me which bounced off my back. Since April | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
last year, there have been 90 assaults reported. Hampshire has | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
had the highest number with 55 cases recorded there. Between 2010 | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
and 2011, the service saw violent attacks rise by 22 %. Verbal abuse | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
:02:34. | :02:35. | ||
is common, says staff. You dialled 999. This is the number fought an | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
emergency service. I don't want an ambulance. I will have to hang up | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
on you. Most new ambulances have these cc TV cameras fitted inside | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
and outside the vehicles and the footage they record can be later | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
used as evidence. Managers of precedent for more incidents to be | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
followed up with the police. This is very concerning for us. The | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
staff are trying to help people and they are turned on, hit, and some | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
have even been shot out. We will pursue it with the police and look | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
forward to a prosecution. Only a small number and result in legal | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
action and managers want that to change. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
A little earlier, I spoke to Alan Weir from South Central Ambulance | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Service. With only about one in six attacks resulting in some sort of | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
action being taken, I asked him why there are so few prosecutions. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
There are a number of things that get in the way. Getting evidence | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
has always proven difficult. It is the word of the assailant verses | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
the crew. A lot of incidents involve drugs and alcohol and that | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
makes it difficult to get good statements. We are moving on with | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
CCTV to provide better support for our staff. They report the | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
incidents, but sadly a number of folk in their services begin this | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
is part of the Daily routine. talk about CCTV, but is there | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
anything we can do to protect staff are? We have introduced hand-held | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
radios for all staff and vehicles that have panic buttons on them and | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
give direct record a communication to the emergency control centres. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
It is a very difficult environment to work in. We go into people's | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
homes and workplaces and it is impossible to control every | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
environment we going to, unfortunately. In general, how is | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
this impacting on staff? They are trying to do an important job. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
is demoralising. Our staff go out there to help members of the | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
community in the areas in which they work and to go out and the | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
abused, and possibly spat at all sworn at, or punch, what you're | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
doing your daily business gets you down. At what is the root of the | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
problem? While they attacking ambulance staff when they are | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
trying to help? That is a difficult question. There are lots of reasons | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
behind the assaults. Sometimes we are seen as a point of authority. A | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
lot of incidents involved alcohol and drugs, alcohol being cheaply | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
available in certain stores and a lot of incidents involve -- | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
involving assaults usually include Al Gore. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
It's something not many of us look forward to, but for one woman from | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Brighton a trip to the dentist cost her her life. Sacha Rumaner was | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
having a check up after a recent extraction. It's believed she had a | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
severe allergic reaction to the mouthwash. Ben Moore was at the | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
inquest into her death in Brighton. It was a simple every day procedure | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
at the dentist, but it killed a 30- year-old woman who was described as | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
friendly and departed. The family of Sacha Rumaner arrived here at | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
Brampton County Court to find out how she died. She was there to have | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
a recent extraction check them had been given mouthwash to rinse the | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
cavity. Sasha had learning difficulties and was schizophrenic. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Her social worker was with her at her appointment and described what | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
happened. She said within seconds, Sasha complained of being hot and | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
slumped in the chair. She went pale, her lips went blue, and she was | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
frothing at the mouth. Staff immediately began in the agency at | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
treatment, but within minutes, she had stopped breathing. The dentist | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
also took the stand and was asked by the coroner why, despite what is | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
laid out in national guidelines committee did not immediately think | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
Sacha's sit there and so were anaphylactic shock. The dentist | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
said she assumed Sasha was joking while having a heart attack. We | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
also heard from a pathologist and an allergy expert, both of whom | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
said Sasha had died from a severe allergic reaction to a compound of. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
It is an antiseptic commonly found in dentist surgeries, especially in | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
mouthwash. A verdict is expected he up on Friday. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
A firm that's contracted and part- funded by Portsmouth City Council | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
to operate the Pyramids Centre used a company credit card in a lap- | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
dancing club. It's led to calls by two local councillors for action to | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
be taken. Portsmouth City Council's told Southsea Community Leisure | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Limited that the �200 spend is "inappropriate". The firm says it | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
hasn't been given the opportunity to respond to the allegations. | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
:07:45. | :07:45. | ||
Roisin Gauson has the story. The Pyramids Centre, two years ago | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
it was a chain around the neck of Portsmouth City Council, failing | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
and losing money. Southsea Community Leisure Limited took it | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
over with promises of investment and upgrades at no cost to the | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
public. However, it has agreed a cost with the council worth | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
millions of taxpayers' money. don't know where this money is | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
going or how it will be spent. I don't know what the councillors | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
knew, but we were left in the dark. Several issues have been raised | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
since the -- of the management of the lesser centre. Among them, a | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
receipt for services at a local lap-dancing club in the name of | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
corporate entertainment. They have come to the city council to ask for | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
public handouts and I do not believe that public money, my | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
council tax and your council tax, should be spent on visiting lap- | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
dancing clubs. Southsea Community Leisure Limited, which runs | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Pyramids Centre, says it is aware of the rumours, but says they have | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
been made on the basis of interpretation of confidential | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
information. The management is disappointed not to have had the | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
chance to meet with the council to put its side of the story across | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
prior to the councillors going public. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
Pressure is building on the council to stop the funding and find a new | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
operator for the Pyramids Centre. But council leaders are refusing to | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
budge. There is a contract to keep the Pyramids Centre Open and I hope | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
the people will view the fact that it is open as the right thing. I | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
think the company shouldn't spend that money. I heard the directors | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
who spent it will pay that �200 back. A meeting has been called for | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
Friday. The �200 bill will not be the only matter discussed as the | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
council have guaranteed a loan of up to �2.2 million to secure the | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
future of Southsea Community Leisure Limited. | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
17 men suspected of possessing indecent images of children have | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
been arrested across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. A team of | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
officers made the arrests on Monday and Tuesday at ten different towns | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
and cities. Those questioned are between the ages of 20 and 69. | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Police say 21 children were safeguarded from potential direct | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
harm as a result. Computers, cameras and memory sticks were also | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
:10:16. | :10:16. | ||
seized during the arrests. We are making arrests every day for people | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
downloading images of children. People who commit these serious | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
crimes think they can do so in the comfort of their own homes and no | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
one will find out. That is not the case, this is not an anonymous | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
crime. It is easy for us to identify these people. | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Still to come in this evening's South Today: | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Previously unseen footage of a bygone era from the world of Grand | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:50. | ||
The beauty company Wella is leaving Basingstoke after 44 years. Around | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
100 people are employed at the site in Wella Road. All staff have been | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
given the opportunity to move with their jobs but there will be some | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
voluntary redundancies. A company spokesman said they were sad to | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
leave Basingstoke. Some staff staying on will move to sites in | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
Bournemouth and Weybridge in Surrey. A proposal to graze cattle | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
alongside a riverbank in Dorset has attracted bitter opposition from | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
dog walkers and others who say the plan will stop their enjoyment of | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
the area. They say 700 people have now signed their petition. The plan | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
would affect several small areas of grassland next to the River Stour | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
near Bournemouth where countryside officials say grazing would improve | :11:25. | :11:35. | |
:11:35. | :11:36. | ||
the habitat for plants and wild animals. Chris Coneybeer reports. | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
Shetland cattle, one of our rarest breeds. The grazing keeps the scrub | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
down. It also leaves tasks used by birds and their areas where plants | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
can flourish. If we left it, it would be scrub and eventually | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
woodland. It is in great, but compared to that these are the | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
habitat, it is common and that is what we are keen to maintain our | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
valuable habitats of. Not far away on the banks of the River Stour, | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
there are plans to do something similar. Grazing here it is claimed | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
would dramatically benefit plants and wild creatures. The protesters | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
say it would limit that. It will bring different kinds of birds to | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
the area, butterflies, insect, but were not there before. But they are | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
taking away 90 % of this land for six cattle. There would be a fence | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
to keep the cattle in, but with gaps and gates for dogs and people. | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
We have got an amazing biodiversity. It is superb. We know, from our | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
experience, that by a grazing that, we will have a positive impact on | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
the wildlife and by the honesty of that site. But the campaigners are | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
not persuaded. People are stressed, they can come down here and they | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
can just relax. Their minds can relax and they can enjoy a a small | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
bit of countryside that we have got., they do that next to a field | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
of cows? They can't wander when they wanted. There will be more | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
talks before a final decision is made. | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
Helicopters will now be able to land at Portsmouth's Queen | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
Alexandra hospital 24 hours a day for emergency cases. The city | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
council has lifted a planning restriction which prevented night- | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
time landings. Some residents living near the helipad had opposed | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
the change, saying it would affect their sleep and the value of their | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
homes. But the hospital's Chief of Medicine says the decision will | :13:43. | :13:53. | |
:13:53. | :13:57. | ||
It was a British triumph, and led to the development of airplanes | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
which helped win the Second World War. Back in 1931, the coveted | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
Schneider Trophy was won for the last time by Britain. The | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
technology which built the seaplanes also helped develop | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
planes such as the Hurricane and the Spitfire. 80 years ago, the | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
route took the planes between West Wittering in West Sussex, and Cowes | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
and Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Today, the route was similar with | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
seaplanes taking off from Lee on the Solent. Our reporter Steve | :14:18. | :14:27. | |
Humphrey was on the shoreline to witness the event. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
There is something magical about aeroplanes that land and take a | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
from the water. Today, A-Team aircraft staged a tribute to the | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
aviation pioneers who competed here in the is between the two world | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
wars. The big prize 80 years ago was the Schneider Trophy. One man | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
who was watching in 1931 was in the crowd again today. It was | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
tremendous leading up to it. There was this tremendous roar. What was | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
your view of the pilots who were flying these ultra-modern, in those | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
days, flying machines? They were little gods. We looked at them as | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
real heroes. Groups of people gathered in Southsea and on the | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
:15:24. | :15:24. | ||
Isle of Wight to watch today's aircraft fire past. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
What is it like to take off and land on the water. It is a | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
fantastic challenge, you have you read the water so you have to be a | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
sailor. You're a pilot and a sailor. The Schneider Trophy was about the | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
quest for speed. This machine does about 120 miles an hour. The winner | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
back in 1931 achieved a speed of the 340 miles an hour. | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
The aircraft that won the trophy in 1931 was the Super Marine designed | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
by RJ Mitchell. He went on to use many of the features in the | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
development of the spit fire. important to remember the fact that | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
if they had not done the work they had done to improve high-speed | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
flight, we would not have had the fighters. Even in 1931, the | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
Schneider Trophy sleet plane was the key -- twice as fast as the | :16:16. | :16:26. | |
:16:26. | :16:38. | ||
aircraft that are coming into If you enjoyed seeing the old | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
footage of the Schneider Trophy, stay with us because we will be | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
looking at some high-speed crumb Prix racing. | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
Let's start with cricket now, with the season coming to an end now. | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
The inevitable happened for Hampshire. | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
Hampshire made it to the penultimate day of the season | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
before they finally bowed to what was inevitable. James Tomlinson's | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
was the final wicket to fall in the Hampshire first innings against | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
Warwickshire at The Rose Bowl. It meant Hampshire couldn't get the | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
maximum batting points they needed to keep the fight alive into the | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
final day and are relegated. Their place in the top flight will be | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
taken by Surrey. They wrapped up victory over Derbyshire by an | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
innings and 126 runs at The Oval earlier this afternoon. | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
Sussex will also be in the top flight next year. Their final match | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
of the season has nothing riding on it for either side. Notts all out | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
for 311 in their first innings following on they're 103 for 4, | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
still 74 behind Sussex's first innings total at Nottingham. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
One bit of good news for Hampshire. Their young spinner Danny Briggs | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
has been called into the England Twenty20 squad to play the West | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
Indies. Some small creditors of Portsmouth | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Football Club are still waiting for their money despite a pledge made | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
by the club's former owners that the debts would be paid in full. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Balram Chainrai made the gesture last year to those who are owed up | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
to �2,500 after Pompey exited Administration. Chainrai has since | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
sold the club and liability for the debt is unclear. One creditor made | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
his point at BBC Radio Solent's Supporter's Forum last night. | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
When will we be paid? There wasn't any deadline imposed on when that | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
would happen, but we are keen that happens as soon as possible. There | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
are a number of legacy issues we have inherited. This is one that we | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
have got to keep knocking on the head and get rid of the issues as | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
quickly as we can. The fans' forum at Bournemouth a | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
couple of weeks ago started a saga between The Cherries Chairman and | :18:39. | :18:42. | |

listed all the expenditure made by the club in recent times in | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
response to a direct e-mail from a supporter. It includes a �1.8 | :18:48. | :18:50. | |

renovating the home dressing room and an ice bath so the players | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
didn't have to use wheelie bins. The total is �3.25 million. | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
A lot of the pressure on Eddie Mitchell has come because of | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Bournemouth's poor start to the season. The chapter could be coming | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
to an end - he's declared all the finances - and the team is winning | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
again. Here's Tony Husband with last night's goals. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
Bournemouth did their talking on the pitch. The new signing went | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
down in the box, penalty awarded down in the box, penalty awarded | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
and a fine finish. That gave them the lead. Orient levelled. But the | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
turning point came with his red card for Ibrox or -- a reckless | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
challenge. Playing against 10 men, the cherries to control. Thomas had | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
the follow-up after Sean Cooper's efforts went off the bar. | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
Paolo Di Canio was wearing shades because he is in the limelight | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
after an event will start. His side were victorious against a Crawley | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
Team suffering a reality check to life in the higher league. But the | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
game was Ali really settled in the final 10 minutes as injury-hit | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
Crawley faded. This goal sealed the win. | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
Aldershot won a way as well. It was game over in the second half thanks | :20:29. | :20:39. | |

wheelie bins with ice so that footballers can relax the muscles. | :20:53. | :20:56. | |

September to apply and the address As Goodwood prepares to host one of | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
the world's biggest motor sport events this weekend, we've got | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
something rather special to show you. Long before Grand Prix racing | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
was shown on television, a handful of people filmed it for use on | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
cinema newsreels. And a former cameraman from | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Wiltshire has got some footage that has never been seen on television | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
before, showing the great stars of the day, like Stirling Moss. In the | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
first of two reports, Paul Clifton gets a little help from Murray | :22:04. | :22:14. | |
:22:14. | :22:20. | ||
Beat Monaco Grand Prix, 1955. Practice day has arrived and so | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
have the cars. The top drivers of the day get ready to race. And here | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
is the man from Great Britain. is Britain's first world champion. | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
Mike Hawthorn came from Surrey. The pictures come from the late David | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Clark, a talented driver turned film-maker. He was friends with | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
Stirling Moss, at this point early in his career. | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
When the tyres were put up after practice, he was one of the names | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
others were looking for. This man was one of the camera men. They | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
were often the only films of Grand Prix racing. We, as cameraman, | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
would be able to stand on the track to get the shots that we wanted. | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
:23:23. | :23:24. | ||
The base has started! -- the race. Alberto Askari was one of the | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
greatest drivers of his time, but in the days before safety barriers, | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
it all went wrong. But tremendous excitement, Alberta Askari has | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
overshot it. Frogmen standing by died in to rescue him. He starts to | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
swing to one of the arts. A few days later, he was dead, killed | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
testing a new car. I showed at the thought it to Murray Walker, the | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
veteran motor racing commentator. It wasn't so long after the end of | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
the most dreadful war in the history of mankind when millions of | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
people had been killed and the attitudes to death were very | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
different in those days. Look how close spectators get to the cars. | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
The drivers themselves have almost no protection: No seat belt, No 5 | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
rip seats. There wasn't the attitude towards death and the | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
concern about life that there is now. Yes, four or five people used | :24:32. | :24:41. | |
to get killed every season. These are pictures of an era far | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
removed from today's motor-racing. There goes the chequered flag. | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
Tomorrow, we will uncover footage never seen in the public before of | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
one of the great from Prix drivers. Look forward to that. There was a | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
sharp intake of breath at the studio when he drove into the water, | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
we could not believe it! I think a lot of people would have | :25:06. | :25:16. | |

So the weather is good today, the tomorrow, but then downhill. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
It's been a blustery week so far. Murray Marshall from West Grimstead | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
captured the windfall in his garden. The sun was out for the hungry | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
squirrel in Chris Castle's garden in Fleet in Hampshire.'s And Phil | :25:28. | :25:33. | |

Late-evening sunshine on offer, but Late-evening sunshine on offer, but | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
tonight it turns Bury chilly. Temperatures will be below their | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
seasonal average. It means there is the risk of a touch of grass frost | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
first thing tomorrow morning. Clearing skies overnight tonight | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
with that lack of cloud cover holding in the warmth. Temperatures | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
will plunge into a single figures. There is a risk of mist and fog. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Fog in the usual prone areas and valleys. Expect loads of nine | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
degrees. These are the lows in our towns and cities, lower in the | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
countryside. Blue skies tomorrow, chilly start, sunshine first thing, | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
then increasing clad in the afternoon, turning the sunshine | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
hazy. In the sun, expect a higher at 19 or 20. Winds will be a lot | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
lighter than they have been for the start of the week. Tomorrow night, | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
a few clear spells, maybe some mist and fog, the temperatures will hold | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
up in double figures. Expect a low of around 11 or 14 degrees. For | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
Friday morning, it is an East West split. There is a risk of a few | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
showers from this weather system for the West. Eastern areas holding | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
on to the sunshine and the dry weather for the rest of the day. | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
Then on Saturday, the weekend turns unsettled. The winds pick up speed, | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
low pressure is over the country and there will be blustery showers | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
at times. On Sunday, a similar situation, you can see the squeeze | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
on the isobars. The winds will feel chilly if you're out. There will be | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
showers on and off throughout the weekend. Not to say there will not | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
be some sunny spells, and the winds will be brisk. Here is your summary. | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
Enjoy the sunshine tomorrow. For the East on Friday, chance of | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
showers in the West. The winds pick up speed towards the weekend as | :27:23. | :27:28. |
